[size=4][b]Blocked Sphenoid Sinus - Headache: Affects the Mental Health of a Person[/b][/size][hr]Headache indicates a pain in the head. Headaches can be either mild or severe. Medically headache is termed as 'cephalgia.' Causes of headaches are many and varied. For example, stress and tension in one's life leads to headache. Lifestyle pressure with high demands of jobs, high workloads creates tension thereby leading to headache. There are also certain other factors which precipitate headaches such as insomnia which is caused due to lack of proper sleep, lack of proper appetite and the like.

[list][*]Headaches are mainly of four types; namely, vascular headache, myogenic headache, traction headache and inflammatory headache.[*]The most common type of vascular headache is migraine, which is characterized by a pain which is severe in either or both the sides of the brain.[*]Migraine often leads to blur vision and sometimes creates an upset stomach.[*]Migraine is a pulsating form of headache which is unilateral associated with vomiting, nausea, depression and sensitivity to sound, light, smell etc.[*]Migraine causes are unknown.[*]Causes of migraine headache are many and varied.[*]For example, stress and tension in one's life leads to headache.[*]Lifestyle pressure with high demands of jobs, high workloads creates tension thereby leading to migraine.[*]More than 75% of women are migraine sufferers. [/list]

Quote:Sinus headache is a type of headache which is caused due to the pressure of the sinus cavities. Sinus headache is felt by pain and compassion in the sinus areas, nasal blocking and swelling of the face, facial pain fever etc. The common aspect of sinusitis is generally the common cold. Sinus headache can be overcome through simple medication of painkillers like paracetamol, aspirin etc, by inhaling steam, hot drinks like soup, tea coffee and rest. Sinus headache if not taken precaution will lead to pneumonia and bronchitis. Sinus headache which is characterized by sinus cavities affects the eyes too. But it is to be noted out here that headache either mild or severe should be consulted with the doctor and thus necessary precautions should thereby be undertaken to prevent it. Writing about Sinus is an interesting writing assignment. There is no end to it, as there is so much to write about it!

[list][*]Another form of vascular headache is cluster headache which is caused due to high blood pressure.[*]Headache caused by tension is the most common form of myogenic headache, which tightens or tenses facial and neck muscles.[*]The traction and inflammatory types of headaches are caused due to a disorder which ranges from strokes to sinus infection.[*]Headaches are generally harmless and can be diagnosed though persistent care is necessary for vascular headache especially for migraine.[*]Keep your mind open to anything when reading about Sinus Infection.[*]Opinions may differ, but it is the base of Sinus Infection that is important.[*]After years of having sinusitis, are you still having trouble identifying what kind of sinusitis you have?[*]Identifying what kind of sinusitis you have is important for you to apply the right treatment. [/list]

[size=large][b]Still, Any Number of Your Sinuses can be Inflamed At One Time[/b][/size][hr]Pansinusitis means that all sinuses are infected. Another way of classifying sinusitis is by duration and frequency of attacks. There are two kinds of sinusitis depending on the duration and frequency of attacks: acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis. We have tried to place the best definition about Frontal Sphenoid Sinuses in this article. This has taken a lot of time, but we only wish that the definition we gave suits your needs.

[size=large][b]Having Acute Sinus Infection May Leave You Feeling Ear Blockage[/b][/size][hr]It may also lead to swelling of the glands, known as lymph nodes in the neck. Chronic sinusitis is a persistent disease of more than eight weeks' duration, or more than four episodes of infection per year. This kind of sinus infection may precede acute sinusitis that failed to clear completely with treatment. This may be felt by having postnasal drip with thick mucus in the back of the nose or throat. Another common symptom is nasal congestion or blockage that may extend to the Eustachian tubes resulting to ear fullness. People with chronic sinusitis may also feel being run-down and fatigued.

Acute sinusitis lasts less than six to eight weeks or occurs less than four times a year. This kind of sinusitis is often preceded by a cold. Once your symptoms last longer than ten to fourteen days, you may already be developing an acute sinus infection, especially if you are feeling facial pain or headache already. During the early stages of acute sinusitis, there is nasal blockage and congestion, excessive mucus in the nose and throat and sneezing. Some may feel malaise and fatigue and fever. Mucus may become thicker and discolored. Throat discomfort and occasional hoarseness may also be experienced due to postnasal drip. Coughing from the postnasal drainage worsen in the morning and at night.

[list][*]Maxillary sinusitis causes pain in the mid-face or below the eyes, cheek or upper teeth, almost like you're having a toothache.[*]Ethmoid sinus infection triggers pain between the eyes, near the bridge of the nose.[*]The pain may also become worse with eyeglasses on.[*]Inflammation in the frontal sinuses causes severe forehead pain.[*]Sphenoid sinusitis is usually identified by deep-seated pain behind the eyes, at the top of the head or nape of the neck.[/list]

[size=large][b]For Comments and Inquiries about the Article Visit *****[/b][/size][hr]About the author: Kay Zetkin is the author name used by Lala C. Ballatan. She discovered the pleasure of writing through her daily journals as a teen-ager. Whenever one reads any reading matter likeAcute Sinusitis, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that its reading is complete.

[list][*]These two kinds of sinusitis are basically different diseases since each have different symptoms.[*]The courses of treatment applied for each type are also different.[*]If you feel these symptoms, you need further evaluation and treatment in order to avoid future flare-ups and improve the quality of life.-30-[*]Many individuals tend to think that sinuses have nothing to do with bad breath but they are wrong.[*]There is a link between sinuses and bad odors which usually come from the back of the throat and tongue areas.[*]In fact, there are two main conditions that end up causing bad breath from the back of the throat.[*]They are sinusitis and tonsillitis, each affecting our breath in a similar way.[/list]

[size=large][b]Such a Condition is Known as Post Nasal Drip and It is the Direct Cause of Bad Breath[/b][/size][hr]This happens because mucus is made out of interlinked layers of protein and anaerobic bacteria in the airway feed on them. The existence of such large amounts of food for them means that they can multiply easily and create waste products that have really bad odors. Now that you have got to reading about Nasal Irrigation, don't you marvel at how ignorant you were about all the Nasal Irrigation? This is the main reason for us to write an article on Nasal Irrigation.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infections and Bad Breath[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infections cause the sinuses to create thick and infected mucus. They actually have a very bad odor even before anaerobic bacteria steps in to make it worse. Bad breath coming from sinus infections is a lot worse when compared with regular bad breath that appears from waste products created by bacteria, simply because we are dealing with two bad odor causing agents instead of one. Getting information on specific topics can be quite irritating for some. This is the reason this article was written with as much matter pertaining to Sinus as possible. This is the way we aim to help others in learning about Sinus.

[size=large][b]Closing Thoughts[/b][/size][hr]When dealing with sinusitis or tonsillitis, it is very important that you respect the advice from your doctor and keep to the prescription. Post nasal drip and the bad breath it causes are only minor problems when compared to the infection that is inside your body. When you are able to determine the underlying cause of your bad breath condition and keep it under control, the condition of your breath will automatically improve.

[list][*]To make the condition even worse, the mucus will get stuck on the back of the throat and this will create a constant urge to swallow.[*]People suffering from this will want to start swallowing when there is nothing to do so.[*]This makes it difficult to even sleep at night.[*]Combine this with the bad breath exhibited and we have quite a difficult condition to handle. Big Grin[/list]

There are different possible symptoms to take into account when diagnosing post nasal drips. The most common ones are the need to constantly swallow and/or spit, congestions in the sinus and nasal passages, tickling sensation in the throat, crystals found in the tonsils (they are in most cases white or yellow), chronic sore throat, coughing, nausea (caused by mucus accumulating in the stomach) and vomiting (caused by the same reason as nausea). Bad breath is also a very common symptom of post nasal drip. Now that we think about it, Sinuses are not actually that difficult a topic to write about. Just looking at the word, ideas form in people's minds about the meaning and usage of Sinuses.

[list][*]Is also very important to understand that sinus infections do not disappear over night and post nasal drips would not either.[*]This is why it is highly recommended that the patient should also take guifenesin and Sudafed in order to keep the sinuses open.[*]This will allow for thin mucous to be produced and will aid in keeping sinuses clean.[*]The term post nasal drip is not used that much by some of the doctors because it is considered to be obsolete.[*]Nowadays, it is also known as the Chronic Upper Airway Cough Syndrome.[*]In any case, the term post nasal drip is still quite common in medical literature.[/list]

[size=large][b]What is Post Nasal Drip?[/b][/size][hr]Scientifically speaking, post nasal drip happens when excessive mucus appears because of the sinuses. It can accumulate in the throat or at the back of your nose and can be caused by sinusitis (as already mentioned), rhinitis or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux. Allergies can also trigger it or make it worse, no matter the season of the year when it appears.

[list][*]Actual treatment solutions can vary depending on each case and how the disease (sinusitis or not) affects the post nasal drip.[*]Your doctor will usually prescribe antibiotics but he/she can also utilize nasal irrigation or minor surgeries if needed.[*]The recent introduction of pulsatile irrigators has help made nasal irrigation treatment more bearable.[*]When dealing with allergies, the doctor will prescribe antihistamines or/and decongestants.[*]In severe cases steroids can be utilized but only on short periods of times as it can lead to many damaging side effects.[/list]

[list][*]When dealing with sinus infections the doctor usually prescribes amoxicillin as a standard antibiotic.[*]If the patient shows an allergy to penicillin, the doctor usually replaces the drug with Zithromax or Biaxin.[/list]

[size=large][b]Removing Bad Breath Caused by Post Nasal Drip[/b][/size][hr]In order to remove bad breath linked with post nasal drip we need to remove the cause of the mucus accumulation. If you are affected by post nasal drip you will need to get special help from your family doctor or an otolaryngologist. To help with your treatment, it is important that you drink plenty of liquids, especially water, as it can help a lot.
